TVS sensor is fragile and connected via a very thin cable.
Please handle with care to avoid breakage. Hold the device only by the sides.
Verification Environment
For optimal results, it is best to perform the tests away from sources of airflow, for example
fans and air vents. The ambient temperature may also have an effect on the measurement. We
recommend to test under standard lab conditions (22 - 28°C).
